New Jersey’s Weekend Spring Weather: Sunshine, Showers, and a Classic March Mix
New Jersey eases into spring this weekend with a little bit of everything—sun, clouds, and a few showers in the mix. After a damp stretch to end the workweek, drier and brighter conditions build in for much of Saturday, with milder air returning Sunday before another round of rain early next week. Temperatures will run close to typical late‑March levels, with cool mornings and comfortable afternoons.
Friday (March 20):
A weak system keeps scattered light rain showers around, especially early and again at night. Highs reach the upper 50s to near 60, with a noticeable breeze at times. Roads may be damp, but no severe weather is expected.
Saturday (March 21):
High pressure noses in, delivering a classic early‑spring day. Skies turn mostly sunny, and highs top out in the upper 50s, around 58°F, with a cool start in the low 40s. It’s the better day for outdoor plans, youth sports, and errands.
Sunday (March 22):
Clouds increase, but it stays mild. Expect partly sunny skies with highs in the mid‑60s—around 65°F—before showers move in Sunday night as the next system approaches. Daytime hours look mainly dry for most of the state.
Early next week: Cooler, then gradually moderating
Monday (March 23):
A colder, unsettled day. Periods of rain showers and a brisk northwest wind drop highs back into the mid‑40s. It will feel raw compared to the weekend.
Tuesday (March 24):
Skies turn sunny again, but temperatures stay on the cool side, with highs in the upper 40s and a chilly morning in the 30s.
Midweek (March 25–27):
A gradual warming trend returns. Expect more partly sunny days with highs climbing into the low to mid‑50s, and another chance for showers by late Thursday into Friday as another system swings through.
